mesenchymal stem cells

[Nature Protocols] Investigators developed a methacrylated photocurable silk fibroin bioink for digital light processing 3D bioprinting to generate structures with high mechanical stability and biocompatibility for tissue engineering applications.

[Scientific Reports] Investigators explored breast cancer and glioblastoma multiforme cell lines MDA-MB-321 and U87-MG, and evaluated the impact of hyaluronan on tumor promoting features of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, and their interaction with tumor cells.

[Nature Communications] Researchers developed a material and culture system for modifying and measuring the degree to which cells retained cumulative effects of mechanosensing.

[Nature Communications] The authors found that lung mesenchymal stromal cells at pre-metastatic stage possess potent metastasis-promoting activity.

[Nature Communications] Pre-metastatic niche formation is critical for the colonization of disseminated cancer cells in distant organs. Researchers found that lung mesenchymal stromal cells at pre-metastatic stage possess potent metastasis-promoting activity.

[Scientific Reports] Researchers measured changes in mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 signaling, the ubiquitin–proteasome system, and autophagy-lysosome system-related factors after a single intramuscular injection of MSCs with green fluorescence protein into mouse muscles.
